Fantastic Newfoundland song that is originally done with fiddle. Chords are

my best interpretation.
Capo I

[Verse 1]
G
Father fished six days a week
D G
He went to church on Sunday
G
He confessed his sins and then he’d begin to
D G
sin again on Monday
C G
But don’t get me wrong
C G
He never sinned indeed no worse
G
but sin in word But you should have heard
C D G
The way that man could curse

He went:

[Chorus]
G C
Lord liftin’, leaping lyin’, dear ravin’ and dancing dyin’,
G D G
sufferin’ thunderin, workin’ wonderin’, robbin’ gobbin’ hairy,
G C
hells fire, firey flamin’, screechin’ screamin’, namin’ blamin’,
G C D G
son of a no good, merciful-mudder, of jumpin Joseph Murphy!

[Verse 2]
G
One day Father fished his last
D G
It happened this a-way
G D G
He snagged his finger on a hook and the boat began to sway
C G
Oh he fell into the water
C G
But he never should have drowned
G
But he couldn't keep his mouth shut
C D G
The third time he went down

[Verse 3]
G
Some say he’s down below
D G
But I don't believe that's true
G
I dare allow he’s in heaven above
D G
Turning the air bright blue
C G
